The heroine's naivete was astounding. Not much romance until the final page. Oh, there's a mega mind-fuck twist a quarter of the way through when you think a relationship is starting to develop very awkwardly. Nope. You're wrong. And again, the story took foreeever. I really enjoy the mythos, though...
This retelling of a Greek Legend in Mercedes Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdom world is an interesting view of the story. Previous characters really only appear as background characters. Princess Andromeda of Acadia is offered as sacrafice to the Dragon when her lot comes up. She's rescued with the h...
I somewhat enjoyed this book, but it definitely isn't the best of the series. While Lackey provides shocking plot turns, the ratio of plot to character development was seriously unbalanced. (Additionally, although she would provide pages on the main character, I never felt like I truly understood he...
Not as immediately engaging or even as fun as the first book, but still good enough to maintain my interest in this series.
I thought I was going to like this one less than the first book. The start of it seemed more focused on setting up the story, when I thought it would jump right into the plot. I think I like this one better, overall. I don't mind romance, but the romance in this one was understated and more implied ...
I've seen a number of reviewers not pleased with One Good Knight. When I read it myself, I had mixed feelings about it. My mind has been switching from liking to not then liking it again, and then not...again. By the ending I was really confused. I enjoyed reading the book, don't get me wrong. I was...
I didn't like this one quite as much as the first, it started very slowly for me. But once the action got going it was another charming fairy tale based story with a bit of a sweet romance included.
This was a drastic improvement over the first in the series of the Five Hundred Kingdoms. Almost none of the problems I had from the first novel were in this sequel, and it was vastly more entertaining to read than The Fairy Godmother. Instead of focusing on the "Cinderella" fairytale, the second bo...
All Princess Andromeda really wants to do is to be useful to her mother, the queen. Problem is, her mother doesn't seem to realise that Andie is competent at anything, and she marginalises Andie's accomplishments. It also doesn't exactly help matters that Andie is half-blind without her glasses, or ...
Although I'm not a Mercedes Lackey fan and didn't actually like this book...It's a bestiality romance novel! That's worth a few bucks just for the shits and giggles factor.
